Made with moist cake crumbs and cream cheese, these cake pops are dipped in chocolate and beautifully decorated with colorful sprinkles.

Ingredients

  • 1 box of cake mix (flavor of your choice)
  • 1 cup of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 package of chocolate candy melts
  • Colorful sprinkles
  • Cake pop sticks

Directions

  1. Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box. Let it cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
  3. Add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cake crumbs. Mix well until the mixture comes together.
  4. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into ball shapes, about the size of a walnut. Place the balls on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Insert a cake pop stick into each cake ball. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the cake pops to firm up.
  6. In the meantime, melt the chocolate candy melts according to the package instructions.
  7. Remove the cake pops from the refrigerator. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
  8. Immediately sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the wet chocolate coating.
  9. Stick the cake pops upright into a piece of styrofoam or a cake pop stand to set.
  10. Repeat the dipping and decorating process for the remaining cake pops.
  11. Once the chocolate coating has hardened, you can serve and enjoy your pretty cake pops!
